Those who sacked David Mark have declared war on us - Middle Belt youths

Written By Idoma Television on Thursday, December 10, 2015 | 10:43:00 PM

All Middle Belt Youth Forum, (AMBYF) has condemned in strong terms
the nullification by the Appeal Court of the election of former Senate
President, David Mark, as the lawmaker representing Benue South
Senatorial district, Benue State.

In a statement jointly signed by its National Leader, Comrade Moses
Ojeh, and National Secretary, Comrade Andzayi Jabez Jonathan, the youths
said the judgement has no place in electoral history and Nigeria’s
legal system.
They described the nullification as a war against the Middle Belt
region and an affront on Benue South Senatorial district electorates who
chose Mark through their votes.

They added that the judgement was a fulfilment of the statement by
one of the APC leaders; “If we don’t win at polling units, we win at the
courts” and called on the Benue South Senatorial district electorates
to reaffirm their decision by re-electing Mark at the election re-run.

“With regards to the nullification of the Rt. Hon. David Mark’s
senatorial election not based on electoral fraud or manipulation, we
register this as a war against the Middle Belt Region intended to deny
the region right of participation at Senate by coming after one of their
finest and distinguished Senate President emeritus who is by virtue of
power and seniority also doubles as the PDP’s arrow-head at the National
Assembly.”
